Fluminense are on a strong run of form and their narrow advantage in the tie gives them an extra edge.
Millonairos need to win the game to secure progress and despite having enough quality to get the job done, they will have their work cut out against an in-form Fluminense. We are backing the hosts to secure another narrow victory with goals at both ends.
